Marvel's 1943: Rise Of Hydra Release Date & Platforms Speculation

With the Story Trailer for Skydance New Media and Marvel Entertainment's 1943: Rise of Hydra released, players have been actively searching for additional news and updates on this forthcoming action adventure. As of writing, no release date has been officially confirmed for the game; however, we have a release window, as it's slated for a 2025 release.

According to the game's IMDb page, it's labeled as "pre-production," so we can expect more news and updates on 1943: Rise of Hydra in the coming months. Skydance is also working on "an original story" set within Star Wars alongside Lucasfilm Games, which was announced in April 2022.

What we also don't know or haven't been confirmed is the platforms on which the game will be released. While it's expected to be announced sometime before its release, we're theorizing that it will be made available for console and PC; however, we're assuming that a Nintendo Switch release may be off the cards until it's confirmed.

Marvel's 1943: Rise Of Hydra Gameplay

We have some information about 1943: Rise of Hydra's gameplay, showcased in the Story Trailer and various news announcements from Marvel. In terms of the game's narrative, the action-adventure game is set in Occupied Paris amidst the backdrop of World War II, in which the game's core characters intersect and collide.

As such, players will immerse themselves in the war-ravaged period, where they'll play four heroes, Captain America, Black Panther, Nanali, and Gabriel Jones, at various times and events and explore their unique backstories in this "globe-trotting adventure." Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games' Vice President and Creative Director, commented that the team at Skydance exudes a "deep love and respect for our characters, have poured themselves into the core comic book inspiration, and will harness their incredible storytelling skills to craft an all-new, thrilling narrative experience."

Following the trailer's release, one of the biggest talking points was the incredible visual showcase, which the game built using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5. Ninja Theory used this tool for their upcoming game, Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga, which Skydance also used to produce near-realistic facial features and expressions.

According to the game's D23 Expo 2022 announcement post, "Players can look forward to intuitive controls and exhilarating second-to-second gameplay that captures the action and excitement of Marvel, inspired by landmark comics, television, and films." Furthermore, it's been made public that the development team comprises talented artists, engineers, and developers with decades-worth of experience producing "AAA experience in action and adventure gaming," alongside a consultancy team whose resumes range from comics, video games, and live-action projects.
